Beautiful bag! You will love it. I have a bronze Stam (regular quilted) and it is stunning. I thought it would be more ackward to carry, but the Stam is very versatile and comfortable to carry. I especially like to carry it without the chain for daily use. I don't carry the bronze all that often, because it is more delicate. My black Stam is one of my favorite everyday bags, though. Enjoy!
